Save the date for Care for Kids by Wiegers Inc.'s next epic fundraising event will be Rock & Raise in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on May 24th, 2025!

Care for Kids by Wiegers Inc.'s next epic fundraising event will be Rock & Raise in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on May 24th, 2025, and it promises to be every concertgoer's dream! Imagine a night where the spirit of Woodstock collides with the energy of Coachella, intertwining with the magic of Glastonbury and the wild vibes of Lollapalooza! After all, our previous event, Obseussed, skyrocketed the bar for fundraising events in Saskatoon with the most lavish décor, over-the-top costumes, delectable themed eats and drinks, and the most wildly fun entertainment that Saskatoon had ever seen, but Rock & Raise will turn the music up even higher!

It will be a night to remember like never before!

But as incredible an evening as Rock & Raise will be, the motivation for it is paramount and critical.

Children in Saskatchewan and their families went far too long without a dedicated pediatric hospital until Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital finally opened its doors in September 2019. The Hospital was, and will always be, a labour of love that came together after almost three decades of very hard work, fundraising, and dedication by the good people at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation, countless volunteers, sponsors, and many others. The cost to build the Hospital was astronomical but the ongoing costs to keep it operational and modern are, and will continue to be, significant. Wiegers Financial & Benefits launched its in-house charity Care for Kids by Wiegers Inc. in 2009 to raise money for local children’s charities.

To date, we have raised more than $1,900,000 to support the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital by funding a Pediatric Surgical Suite, the Prairie Dog Pod outpatient area, and with the minimum target of $600,000 raised by the Rock & Raise event will help establish another soon-to-be-announced exciting and important initiative.  It’s a significant but critically important goal that we are committed to achieving. Seeing the community unite in support of  Care for Kids by Wiegers Inc. helps to provide access and enhanced healthcare while positively impacting the lives of present and future generations of Saskatchewan children and their families.
